Welcome to the Legolas/Gimli masterpost!
Upcoming events:
* Gigolas Week happens at irregular intervals.
* Hey so, new LOTR series will be a prequel. I doubt any new Legs and Gims moments will come out of it, but it may re-spark interest when it comes out in *checks watch* a few years.
Where do I find you all?
* You can try the Gimli and/or Gigolas tags on Tumblr to find the currently active peeps. You can also check the Legolas tag, but it tends to have a much lower percentage of Gimli/Legolas shipper stuff than the Gimli tag.
Recently, I've seen Gigolas used less and GimLeaf used more.
Where is the fic/art?
* The Gimli/Legolas tag on AO3
* Gimli and/or Gigolas tags on Tumblr.

* The The FuckYeahLegolasandGimli Tumblr is no longer updated, but you can still go back through the posts to see the art it collected.
